Gleaning!

This Friday we will work with Oregon Tilth on a service learning project.
We will harvest season's end produce from the fields of the 47th Farm CSA.
This is produce that was not picked during the main harvest or might be too small or too large for commercial uses.

This food will be donated to a local food bank. Fresh produce is always a healthy and nutritious addition to the meals provided by the food bank. Students' work will directly translate into helping with hunger issues here in Oregon.

We still need drivers. It promises to be a wonderful service learning trip. Check your calendar and please join us!

Students should also bring work clothes, jackets, and work gloves (if you have them).
Finally, if you are able to send a box with your student On Friday, please do so. We will need boxes to transport the food from field to food bank.
